Bump Into You// Harry Styles

chapter 14

Ella

I heard the door to my room open and the sound of heavy boots walking in. I clutched my phone in my hand and sat to the back of the closet. I don't even have anyone to call! My mom would tell me I'm lying and I don't have any friends. This is worse than I thought.

I scrolled through the little contacts I had and came across Harry's name. I'm not sure how that got there but at this point, I don't really care. I turned down the call volume and it vibrated a little, it wasn't loud enough for the guys to hear it. I then pressed the cll button and then quietly shoved the phone closer to the closet door so he could hear the ruckus the men were causing in my room, that is if he answers. I pushed myself up a little and then looked at the screen, it showed that he actually answered!

"Please come and get me, there are people in my house and I'm scared. Please Harry please, if you're hearing me just please save me." I whispered. It was so low but it was at that time that the house went quiet. I know that they haven't left because I can still see the shadows.

"Hey, did you hear that?" One of them whispered. I stopped. He heard me!

"I didn't hear anything. Stop being distracted and let's look for what we came for." Another voice hissed.

"Why would what we're looking for be in a little girl's room?" The first voice asked.

Then the other voice whispered something that I didn't quiet catch. They clearly don't know where to look for whatever they came here for. What do I have that two dangerous men want?

I just kept quiet, the call was still going but I have no idea if Harry replied or what so I just sat there.

I couple minutes pass and the men were no longer in my room but I knew that they were still in the house because I could hear them. I then put the phone to my ear,

"Harry?"

"Just stay on the phone Ella. And do not come out. I'm on my way." I heard his voice travel through the speaker. I sighed.

A few minutes later, the boots returned to my room. They started looking around again. Until one of them stood infront of the closet. I started to Panic. Oh no no no no no!

He pulled the door. "Aye yo come look at this." He called the other one over. "It's locked."

"It's in there then." The other one said. And they started fumbling with the lock. Omg omg omg omg!!

"I. Can't. Get. It. Open!" The first one grunted in frustration. "What kind of stupid lock is this?"

My heart calmed a little.

"Ella! Ella!" I heard Harry whisper yelling through the phone along with a string of curse words, but I couldn't reply because I know someone would hear me. So I just stayed silent.

After a few minutes I heard some screams from downstairs. They had gone down to look for something to open the closet door. I heard grunts and yells and I started to imagine the worst.

Then I heard Harry. Oh Harry..

"Ella? Ella where are you?" He sounded worried. I hurried and unlocked the closet door and jumped up. Without a second thought, I threw my hands around Harry and started sobbing.

"Oh Thank God you're here!" I cried to him. He wrapped his hands around my waist and buried his head in my shoulders. It feels like heaven.

"Thank you so much!" I said again, in tears.

He held me at arms length and studied me for a while and then held the two sides of my head, drew me in closer, and landed a kiss on my forehead.

I was shocked for a bit, but then I felt a warmth encamp my whole body. Through that one kiss. I never thought that the big scary Harry I met a few weeks ago, would be this affectionate towards me. It was truly a very foreign and very great feeling. I've never had these feelings. I've only ever felt this emotion when I had my dad. And maybe a couple of times with my old friend Jayan. This though, this was a different type of feeling, this feeling is unexplainable and I'm just going to leave it that way.

We stayed like this for a while, just holding each other. Then I remembered that there were people in the house. I lifted my head off his chest and looked up at his face, he was already looking at me. I blushed a little. Unusual.

"Where are those men?" I asked, scrunching my eyebrows together.

"Don't worry about it. Stay right here, I'll be back in 5 minutes." He pointed his finger at me.

Sure enough, after five minutes, he came back.

"Come on. Let's go." He motioned with his head to go in front of him.

"Where are we going. " I asked him confused.

"You ask so many questions." He sighed and rolled his eyes and I couldn't help but smile. I went out my room and straight down the stairs. When we were out the door, he unlocked the car and we got inside. We drove for a couple minutes and I realised that it was the road to his house. Again the thought of what happened to those men popped up in my head but I just pushed them aside. If I asked Harry again, he would just think I'm annoying.

He arrived at his home and got out of the car very quickly. I was about to open the door when it flew open. I saw a very irritated Harry looking at me. I hurried out the car and stood beside him. He walked off and pressed a button to lock the car. I stumbled after him since his strides were so damn long, and we walked straight to the kitchen.

"Sit." He commanded. I don't know what got him so irritated but I wasn't about to ask. He saved me and I shouldn't be an ungrateful brat by asking him what's up. But I don't see the harm in that. Maybe I'm just concerned.

I took a seat at the island and looked at him as he cooked up something on the stove. His back was such a beautiful sight. He's so precious.

After a while, he turned around and set a plate of chicken and rice with vegetables on the island in front of me. Then he took a can of coke from the fridge and placed it in front of me. Well....
I stared at him silently as he took a seat in across from me.

"Eat." He said. What's with the one word sentences?

I looked down at the food. Looks delicious. I ate it all up quiet quickly. The first good meal I've had in a while so I dove in and ate it all. It was so delicious. I drank off the coke and slammed the can down on the counter, unintentionally.

My eyes widened a fraction as I looked up at a gaping Harry.

"What?" I burped, then giggled.

"Do you normally eat that much? I gave you more food than I gave myself." He said.

"Uh-umm no. I haven't had a decent meal in a while." I fidgeted under his gaze. I could see that he was curious and I knew that he was going to ask-

"Why?" Yeah I knew he was going to ask why.

I sighed. Might as well tell him because there is no point in lying. He'll know.

So I told him everything. From the start where my dad was alive, up until yesterday. It took me a while and it felt great getting it all off my chest. Once I was finished, I sighed with tears flowing down my cheeks.

I looked up at Harry and to my surprise, he wasn't sympathetic like the others I've encountered that knew what happened, he was fuming. Anger was so evident on his face. Why was he angry? The grip on the fork tightened and his knuckles turned white.

I gulped. His eyes softened a little when he saw the fear on my face.

"What is wrong with them?" He whispered so low that I almost didn't catch it.

"I-" There was a knock at the door.

I looked at Harry with wide eyes and to my surprise, he looked surprised too.

What the hell?
